About Me

Married for 52 years to my best friend
Mother of two grown sons, grandmother to a grandson and granddaughter

My love of poetry sprouted in elementary school at "Our Lady of Perpetual Help Academy...

Sister Othilda's harmonica band (of which I was a member) peaked my interest in music...

Growing up near the Gulf of Mexico in Florida inspired my love of nature and the desire to write about it

In 2007 at the age of sixty three I achieved a life long goal of writing, and going into the studio to record my collection of seashore poetry...the first two poems are dedicated to sea turtles and the sea turtle volunteers...
It's titled "Beach Access 1" poetry and sounds of the gulf shore.

I continue to write and am working on a book of poems and a short story as well as song lyrics...

My poetry has been published in "The Peppertree Magazine" in Sarasota Florida, The Tampa Tribune, The Pelican Press, The Tampa Bay Estuary Program, and The Sarasota Arts Council...

"Beach Access 1 " is available in Pasco, Manatee, Sarasota, and Flagler county libraries in Florida

Presently I enjoy sharing my poetry at Majestic Oaks RV Resort and the Cancer Support Center in Zephyrhills as well as Hernando Pasco Hospice House
